• What cheers me up?

    There are a few things that instantly cheers me up no matter what… and here’s my list of items that cheers me up. Shopping Good food/happy food (i.e. steamboat!) Bubbletea (only the standard bubble milk tea from sharetea with minimum sugar please) Flowers (sunflowers/gerberas would be lovely!) Pretty nails. No matter how shitty I am, so long I get myself any of the above, I’m good. Am I easy to please or what? If you are on my instagram, I guess you would see alot of #1, #2, #3. #4 are rather rare, maybe twice a year I get flowers from the husband. #2 is the most common because you…

  • Me time is nails time. A new manicure on my nails!

    It’s been a while since i last did my nails! Life really got the better of me for the first few months of 2014, but I reckon that busyness is good and I have never been in a better place than now. Am happy every day and I love it! This is probably one of the longest stretch in my life with bare nails (I usually cannot stand the sight of them), but i wore bare nails since my CNY nails! That’s like > 3 months?! I got inspired by a random picture of someone’s manicure one day and decided to get my fingers working. I don’y really have a…

  • manicures.

    a quick check and *gasps* its been a long long while since i did a post on my manicures. my last post dated aug 26 last year had me mentioning that it would probably be one of the last pedicure that i’ll be doing in a while, and it kinda gave hints to many about the pregnancy.   while it wasnt really my last pedicure (i still attempted to paint them thereafter) but i didnt think it was a good job done (cant really see properly with the tummy in the way) and i got way too tired to even find time to blog.   at the same time, i…

  • Happy new year!

    I welcomed the year with a bunch of friends at a BBQ pit near home and laughed till I had stitches. I wished the night didnt end that ‘early’ but a few of us were struggling with bladders that are almost bursting so we had to call it a night. Thank you all for the fun, you know who you are. I got home and took the opportunity to change out my nails. Couldnt decide what I wanted so I did a mishmash of designs for trial. Could I just say I have a new found love leopard prints? And oops. I forgot taking any picture cos I was so…

  • Quick trial.

    Popped by kino today so that hubby can pick up his usual magazine subscriptions. I took the opportunity to check out the nail-related books and stood there for the longest time browsing. Eventually decided to lug home 2 books and 2 magazines since there was 20% discount.. The big bonus was I got them FREE! Hubby decided to pay them for me so I feel really really loved. There were dozens of pretty design and I was so raring to paint them all but I only have 10 fingernails and 10 toenails. Besides I am really tired from the long weekend, where every single day we were out and about.…

  • Sparkly Christmassy manicure.

    I did a sparkly manicure for Christmas after all! Well, something happened earlier and my manicure was all RUINED. It was supposed to be a happy event.. I was unboxing another box of nail polishes that just arrived today but one of the bottles broke and it was a mess. This was my hands after I attempted cleaning up. Before that, I didn’t even dare to touch my phone to snap any pictures. So yeah, my polka dotted French manicure is gone. I just spent the last hour doing another quick manicure (and matching pedicure). I did attempt to draw snowflakes but gosh, I don’t really have a steady hand…

  • Polka dot French manicure.

    I’m sorry that I didn’t do the Christmas nails as requested! I didn’t had the time to really trial the nail art and the one that I do attempt to try on a single fell flat because my nail polish was too translucent and there wasnt any depth in the colors and didn’t turn out christmassy at all. But, I had to change out my nails because I had a wedding to attend so I did a simple French that was really fast and quick and tried out the new dotting tool that I got, courtesy of evonnz. The tools, polishes and all. I skipped the base coat step, since…
